Description
I took the route of trying to piece together each photo from the jam into one song. I took an old noodle I made once called “ifitmustend” and felt inspired to try and continue on with it. So, this is both the next chapter of “thenletit” and also an attempt to (loosely) create music based on a theme and paintings. It was fun.

That guitar tone is spectacular! Kind reminds me of Enemies, and a little bit of Animals as Leaders. Also, cool of you to put a little footage of yourself playing!
I don't really have notes for you, I just wanted to say that it's always a treat to hear excellent guitar music in these jams.
Thanks for sharing this, and keep up the good work :)
Nice build up, its sounds very progressive :) I like the effects, its pretty well mix too, good job :)
A liked this very much, and noice guitar playin!
I like the vibe, but I couldn't fit very well with the them, but I'm still glad that you gaves the pleasure to listen to that piece and that the jam inspired you to finish your work.
Sound design felt very fresh and easy to listn, to me personally it was a delight
Good job, take care :3
Really great vibes with the delays and everything!
Somehow giving some Silent Hill feels (might just be the use of guitar) 😁.
Good stuff!
Wow beautiful, it's not what I would have expected from the paintings but it makes the realization even more superb with all the effects you've put into your composition. Special mention for the rhythmic change at 2 minutes, I loved it.
Great work, bravo! :)
Totally unexpected and delightful! The guitar delay and other effects give it a great groove without the drums. Everything moves forward well and the intro evolving reversed sound design thing (as best I can define it ;)) definitely caught my attention to stay for rest.
Wow! This one was so much fun! Great work. Very easy to listen. I liked how you stitched together all of the themes into one song. Kudos!
That middle part was my favorite.
Thank you! It makes me happy to know that you enjoyed it :)
The middle section was a Hail Mary for me. Initially, I added more to the composition. I wanted it to sound bigger and more emotional for the middle build-up. I think it all came out good. Thank you again for the kindness!
Nice one !
This track is very enjoyable to listen, and I really liked that you filmed yourself playing, cool to watch !
Mixing and sound design part of it is very well executed imo, creates a nice mood
In your description you said you couldn't find a way to enjoy drums, honestly I find it very good as it is. The guitar and delays create enough rythmic stability in my taste.
Well done !
Hey, thank you so much for that!
I didn't expect anyone to read through the description outside of what I posted here haha. I juggled around so many different ideas for drums. But what you said is how I felt; the syncopation (I suppose) amongst the simultaneous 1/4 and 1/4t delays filled in enough space to make it feel full with all of the other instruments. It feels complete and whole as is.
Thank you again for your kind words, and I hope I didn't yap too hard there! :)
